Joe Biden guarantees Obama will bypass reluctant Republicans and cement new gun control laws
ny daily news ^ | 1/9/2013 | DAN FRIEDMAN

Vice President Biden pledged Wednesday that President Obama will bypass a reluctant Republicans in Congress and take executive action to curb gun violence, prompting a full-blown fit from conservative gun rights backers.

Biden heads a White House task force set this month to release proposals in response to the Newtown shooting. He told reporters before a Wednesday meeting with gun violence victims and gun control groups that Obama will not let Republican resistance prevent action.

"The president is going to act. There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken," Biden said. "We haven't decided what that is yet." Biden said Obama will also offer legislative proposals.

The Vice President's remarks set a tough tone ahead of another meeting Thursday with pro-gun organizations including the National Rifle Association and Wal-Mart, the nation's leading seller of firearms.

"I want to make clear that we're not going to get caught up in the notion that, unless we can do everything, were going to do nothing," said Biden, who was joined at the meeting by Attorney General Eric Holder.

I’m thinking of rewriting “Seven Days in May” but with a happy ending.

If he does, the House should begin impeachment proceeding immediately.

Obama cannot pass a law.

Don't count on it. He already has rewritten laws all on his own and he has shredded the Constitution on numerous "in your face" situations - e.g. making recess appointments when the Congress had not officially recessed.

So far he has gotten away with all these shenanigans and the GOP is quaking in their boots just trying to stay in control of the House. Until the GOP finds a pair Zero will continue to push this "I won" routine down our throats and we will dutifully take it.

IMPEACHMENT IS THE ONLY WAY AND THAT AIN'T ABOUT TO HAPPEN WITH THIS GAND IN THE HOUSE AND THE ELITE GOP CONSULTANTS.

To those who didn't vote for Romney, You hold some responsibility for what we're now facing.

Berating conservatives for failing to vote for the GOP-e's hand picked liberal isn't going to accomplish anything but stir up more infighting. That's going to get us nowhere, but further under Obama's thumb.

Better to talk about how to win the fight we're in now.

this communist monster dictator Obama already bypassed Congress a few times as when it passed the Dream act Amnesty with an executive order.

All we have left is secession. they want to take away our guns so we can’t.

Excerpt from an article, July, 1998:

With some of his closest advisers deeply pessimistic about the chances of getting major legislation passed during the rest of the year, Mr. Clinton plans to issue a series of executive orders to demonstrate that he can still be effective.

‘’Stroke of the pen,’’ Paul Begala, an aide to Mr. Clinton, said in summarizing the approach. ‘’Law of the land. Kind of cool.’’

It seems to be heading in that direction. Very dangerous for a government to be boosting about taking away individual freedoms. I see the blame leading to Obama and his extremist agenda on Christianity, our country's traditional values and our free market system.

I predict a second American civil war is coming and actions like this will simply feed the flames in that direction.

If Dear (stinky) Reader bypasses Congress, there is no “new gun control law” for him to “enforce.”

You’re actually blessed with the rights guaranteed from God. The Bill of Rights simply states that those rights already exist and cannot be infringed.

The Bill of Rights is an affirmation of existing rights, not a codification of what rights you have.
